Caruso, Bruno and Militello, Mariagrazia. (2009) The Charter of Nice in the law in action: an investigation into the judges’ statement of reasons (2000-2008). WP C.S.D.L.E. "Massimo D'Antona" .INT - 74/2009. [Working Paper]

Abstract

The first part of this work is dedicated to European Courts decisions and to the Advocate General’s Conclusions; the second part is dedicated to domestic judges' decisions. The abovementioned division of the work aims to highlight if and to what extent the attitude demonstrated in comparisons of the same "phenomenon" by supranational judiciary and national judiciary – who are considered EU judges of the first level – is different, and to identify the various consequences that it determines.
